One of the things that I missed when I moved from Windows to Linux was the start command, which would launch the correct program for a given file. Well, add the following line to ~/.bashrc to get it:
alias start=xdg-open
Then either logout/login, or run (the leading dot & space are important):
. ~/.bashrc
Now you can launch the appropriate file by doing
